"It seems like our little zoo had more of a holiday with Dallas than we did while we were away! They were well looked after - the dogs had their walks and the cat seemed slightly disappointed when we got home ;-) Looks to me like we’ll have to re-book her soon! Thank you so much Dallas for taking care of them! "

"Isla was an amazing pet sitter for my dog Bella. She kept excellent communication, sent pictures and gave me the reassurance I needed to know that Bella was well taken care of while I was away. Isla left the house clean and tidy and took care of any little jobs like checking the mail and watering plants as requested. Thank you so much Isla!"

"Cara was absolutely fantastic! She communicated well before the booking, and it was lovely to meet her and introduce her to Archie before she came to stay. While house-sitting, she kept in touch and sent us adorable photos of Archie, which gave us so much peace of mind.
She took wonderful care of him, and we returned to a spotless home and a very happy, well-looked-after dog. We couldn’t have asked for more.
We highly recommend Cara to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur baby and home.
Thank you, Cara! 😊"

"Many thanks to Amber, she was just so lovely, communication was great, and we returned after our break to find our pets much loved and cared for... she even groomed our dog (not for the faint hearted as she has a lot of excess hair) would recommend to all. "

"We recently had Tracey and Marcus pet sit our crew for us. We have 2 dogs and 1 oriental cat.They are older with some complex needs.
The best compliment I can pay Tracey and Marcus is how chilled out and happy the animals were when we returned home. I don't think they even missed us they were so well looked after with hugs,walks and their same routine.
The house was left immaculately and Marcus sorted a couple of plumbing issues for us also, which was amazing.
These guys have a light footprint and big hearts and I wouldn't hesitate in giving them the highest recommendation and will definitely be calling on them again.

Why house sitting ?
Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Christchurch home while you are away.
House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Christchurch.
At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.
The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Christchurch home is also being looked after as well.
In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.
